Biography
Peter J. Glismann
"Glismann undertook a difficult endeavor to take system safety engineering out of the science discourse and into a discussion of social breakdown. Glismann offers a clear narrative of the social aspects to argue that safety breakdown has more to do with the C4 than flawed system analysis. His argument is an ideal introduction to safety and a must read for managers."
—Kevin J. Brogan, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, USA
